Product Description

You need a specialized oriole feeder to see these stunning birds!

Seeing orioles at my backyard bird feeders is always exciting. Not only are these birds beautiful with their striking orange plumage, but seeing them is a sure sign that Summer is just around the corner, as most orioles arrive back to their northern breeding range sometime in May.

But attracting orioles to your bird feeders presents challenges because they have an entirely different diet than most other feeder birds.

Instead of eating sunflower, peanuts, safflower, or corn, like many other species, orioles have a unique diet and will only visit feeders that offer mealworms, fruit (such as oranges), jelly, or nectar.

And in the wild, an orioles diet changes throughout the season. So to continually keep these birds at your feeders, you will need to change the food offered throughout the summer.

Feed foods high in sugar, such as ripe fruits, jelly, and nectar. The sugar is converted into energy needed for migration. The best fruits to use at oriole feeders are orange halves and grapes.

Most of an orioles diet consists of insects during the summer months. The additional protein is needed while they are breeding and raising their young. Try offering dried mealworms in the feeders that offer a jelly tray or cup. I would also keep feeding fruits, nectar, and jelly until they stop eating these foods.

You may get lucky and see an oriole on the feeders RIGHT NOW! Please note, that I live in Ohio and only see orioles in late spring and summer before they migrate south.

I have the most luck attracting birds to my oriole feeders in the spring as they arrive back from their migration.

Where to place an oriole feeder?

While orioles are treetop birds, you must hang the feeder at the height where they can easily spot the food. Hang it on heightened branch of the tree or using a bird feeder pole. We need to wait for a few days for these beautiful birds to find their way to your backyard or garden.

What do orioles eat?

Orioles’ food preferences keep changing with the changing seasons. In fall and spring, these birdies love to feed on a sugary diet, which includes grape jelly, ripe fruits (specifically orange), and nectar. During hot summery days, you will need to feed them with mealworms.

Do oriole feeders really need to be orange?

Like hummingbirds, orioles are attracted to specific colors. While hummingbirds are drawn to red hues, orioles are attracted to the orange color. the best idea is to place an orange feeder in your garden; when they spot your yard offers food, they will likely stick around.
